RE: High end audio rack - Baltic Birch or Hard wood

With the help of a violin maker for the choice of wood, I made simple but effective shelves.

Each shelf has an aspect ratio according to the golden ratio (roughly speaking, if the shorter side is of length x, then the longer side is of length x * 1.6).

Each shelf is made up of two layers: the top layer is 2cm-thick tilia (lime tree basswood) and the bottom layer is 2cm-thick rigid polyurethane with paper surface (it's quite standard for preparing thermal insulation panels in the construction sector). The two layers are not glued or varnished, just the weight of the hi-end gear keep them together.

They are not expensive, just give a try and see if you like them.

Cheers
Roberto
